Dietary supplements are products that people add to their diets. Dietary supplements can't replicate all of the nutrients and benefits of whole foods, such as fruits and vegetables. Dietary supplements come in the form of pills, capsules, powders, gel tabs, extracts, or liquids.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XROgLc_Ob74/VuCya9sUbDI/AAAAAAAAHMQ/31_Do4F9DUY/s1600/DietarySupplements.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Dietary Supplements - Do I Really Need Them?" border="0" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XROgLc_Ob74/VuCya9sUbDI/AAAAAAAAHMQ/31_Do4F9DUY/s400/DietarySupplements.jpg" title="Dietary Supplements - Do I Really Need Them?" width="373" /></a></div><br /><br /><b>Supplement</b><br /><br />A dietary supplement is a product taken by mouth that contains a "dietary ingredient" intended to supplement the diet. To take a supplement as safely as possible Tell your doctor about any dietary supplements you use do not take a bigger dose than the label recommends. Stop taking it if you have side effects Read trustworthy information about the supplement National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Some dietary supplements may help some people get enough essential nutrients to improve their diets and be in their best health.<br /><br /><b>Vitamins</b><br /><br />Vitamins and minerals are substances your body needs in small but steady amounts for normal growth, function and health. Vitamins and dietary supplements work only when properly dissolved and absorbed.<br /><br />Vitamins act as powerful preventative measures against disease and the aging process, not to mention their critical function for healthy living. A dietary supplement, also known as food supplement or nutritional supplement, is a preparation intended to supply nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, fatty acids or amino acids that are missing or are not consumed in sufficient quantity in a person's diet. Liquid vitamins provide a sound alternative to multivitamin pills. They constitute a new approach to delivery of nutrients, in addition to classic pills and less conventional liquid vitamins. So you need a fresh supply of these vitamins every day.<br /><br />People often use vitamins and minerals to supplement diet and treat disease. The "dietary ingredients" in dietary supplements may include vitamins, minerals, herbs, and amino acids as well as substances such as enzymes, organ tissues, metabolites, extracts or concentrates. Fat-soluble vitamins and water-soluble vitamins are the two basic forms of vitamins required by every human body. Nutrients are the substances the body needs to function--about 45 different elements and compounds according to some professionals--including vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other chemicals. If you're a vegetarian, you may not consume enough calcium, iron, zinc and vitamins B-12 and D.<br /><br /><b>Healthy</b><br /><br />If you're generally healthy and eat a wide variety of foods, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, lean meats and fish, you likely don't need dietary supplements. However, if you can't or don't eat enough healthy foods, or can't or don't eat a variety of healthy foods, you may need a daily dietary supplement.<br /><br />Taking vitamins does not make up for an unhealthy diet, and vitamins are an insufficient substitute for nutrients from fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains, but a general multivitamin and mineral supplement can be a good safeguard. Do not assume that because a product claims to support or promote healthy body function that it prevents or reduces the risk of any disease, including cancer. Don't rely on supplements to make up for an unhealthy diet. This is because many people have turned to dietary supplement in order to fill the gaps that arise due to unhealthy diet.<br /><br /><b>Benefits</b><br /><br />Scientists use several approaches to evaluate dietary supplements for their potential health benefits and safety risks, including their history of use and laboratory studies using cell or animal models. A few individual dietary supplements have been shown to have positive benefits for your health too.<br /><br /><b>Eating</b><br /><br />To achieve your personal best requires a balanced eating plan and a consistent physical activity program.
